    The best of the GD chassis.

    The GD chassis barely changed bar the hubs, or do you mean the best headlights of the GD chassis?

    Hubs changed from 5x100PCD to 114.3x5 with the STI v9, more importantly the V9 also productionised the v8 spec C front end re-jigged suspension mounting.

    More than just a PCD change, it was the whole wheel bearing and knuckle that changed to a more 'motorsport' orientated design

    What is this suspension mounting change you speak of?

  2. ah i see what you mean.

    It does note to set the lap timer to start/stop during a straight, not in the corners. Pity NZ has no land based GPS transmitters o overcome this issue.

    It wouldnt be useful for a live readout, more interesting to look at at the end of a run. I dont care if it's out by half a second or a few k's an hour. Good enough for an overview!

    get a gps thing if you want a more accurate speed reading, you can get some very cool stuff that works on your phone too.

    check out url]http://www.racechrono.com/[/url]

    fantastic piece of software if you have a compatible phone

    not really usefull on a race track though since they respond to slowly.

    What do you mean? Swee has it on his phone and had it going on my car the last time we were at puke. Was great, gave all the speed readings through corners, top speed down the straights and a list of all the lap times...

    They are not a tight fit in there. They can be knocked out with a punch and hammer.

    You only hit the outer part of the bearing and you tap it all around the perimeter so they move without ****ing over and it is easy.

    Clean the hub well before fitting the new bearings and don't over fill the hub with grease.

    Sorry LOG1, these are press apart and press back together, one big dual roller bearing -retained in the hub with a circlip

    No grease req'd as the bearings are pre packed, and there is absolutely no space in the hub for grease

    that grease they are packed with is not good wheel bearing grease, it's grease to stop them going rusty.. always get rid of that crap and use proper stuff
